Answer:

= 82%

Explanation:

Percentage purity is calculated by the formula;

% purity = (mass of pure chemical/total mass of sample) × 100

In this case;

1 mole of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 g

but; 164 g of Ca(NO3)2 = 40 g Ca

Therefore; mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 /40

                                                  = 4.1 g

Thus;

% purity of Ca(NO3)2 = (Mass of Ca(NO3)2/ mass of the sample)× 100

                                    = (4.1 g/ 5 g) × 100

                                    = 82%

Which of the following
Leokris [45]

A. Acids and bases don't react with each other.  --> False.  Acids and bases react in reactions called neutralization reactions, whose products are salt and water.

B. Acids mixed with bases neutralize each other.  --> True.  See above.

C. Acids mixed with bases make stronger bases.  --> False.  Acids and bases react to neutralize each other, so they would weaken each other, not result in a stronger base or a stronger acid.

D. Acids mixed with bases make stronger acids.  --> False.  See above.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. Acids mixed with bases neutralize each other

Given the following unbalanced thermochemical equation, how much heat will be released from the combustion of 45.5 grams of CH4
AnnyKZ [126]

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + 890 kJ

MM of CH4 = (12.01 + 4x1.008) g/mol = 16.04 g/mol

Moles of CH4 = 45.5 g CH4 x (1 mol CH4/16.04 g CH4) = 2.837 mol CH4

q = 2.837 mol CH4 x (890 kJ/1 mol CH4) = 2520 kJ

How can air quality be fine on one day and hazardous on the next? What
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Air Current

Explanation:

Say I am in California and there is a massive fire next to me but not close enough to me to really see the fire and the next day I see no fire but theres a ton of ash in the sky, this can be due to the wind current taking the smoke from the fire into my direction and that smoke falling in my area. So basically a wind current can take the smoke from a fire into another destination and cause a rapid change in air quality in a day.
